Thanks to the leadership of Governor Mike Easley and the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina High School students can earn  college credits through a special Learn & Earn Online initiative beginning in the 2007-2008 school year. Registration for these courses is currently underway. Check with your guidance counselor if you are interested – even if your school’s formal course registration deadline has passed.
Qualified students in participating high schools can take a variety of online college credit courses at no cost to them or to their families. Students can earn both high school and college credit for completed courses. Access to these courses is provided during the regular school day and an online course facilitator will assist students in the classroom.
